when sickness comes..time is given.
TIME has taken me back to the days of curriculum, field trips, lesson plans, crazy messy house, chalkboards rooms turned into ” schoolrooms” and I want to stay. HERE. in this place that I used to wish would hurry. hurry and grow. I want more me time. and I wander what story my kids were reading of me that day.

Rainbow color has my spirits lifted this week. I ran across this little project and it captivated my home school heart. If you still have kids young enough – I hope you take some time to paint a color story into their little hearts today…color words that strengthen the person they are becoming….come color with us?
If I home schooled I would be all over Pink and Green Mama. Her art projects are precious. Make some time to go visit will you?
Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. When I saw it, I fell face down, and I heard the voice of one speaking
Ezekiel 1:28
we can ALWAYS rewrite the story
what story are you reading to them today? take time…I just had a real heart to heart with my son..he’s 16. In my memory he is 5 running around outside shirtless in the dirt with his matchbox cars. It goes fast. I’m encouraged to keep lifting them up and praying truth over them.
when they are to old for matchbox and crayons…spend time talking with them about their world. Today.

"we can always rewrite the story" [beautiful]
You know, I really wanted to win that. Perhaps that is incentive to keep making more. Perhaps we could buy them??
And your post is good confirmation for me that I need to be more mindful of the time I have with my kids.
This is such a beautiful and colorful post!! Sick days do give us time. A slowing down is good for the soul.
I just linked up below… I lost Wednesday somewhere this week!
Loved the reflection today. So true! I committed to the 21 Days of Prayer for Sons. Printed my book, punched the holes and asked for prayer from a friend to stay on track. Good for me, but if I'm not careful I will forget to grab the moments to make the relationship with my teens and focus on the doing for them instead.
Hope you're feeling a tiny bit better. Keeping up the prayers and thoughts for you. :0)
